Starting in April 2026, residents of Marielle Court began clearing their boulevard garden of invasive species, which included Lily of the Valley and Orange Day Lily. The garden (approximately 42 square metres) was left fallow for several weeks while weed remnants were removed, then is was covered with arborist mulch. In September 2026, approximately 200 plants were planted to take advantage of the cool fall growing conditions.
The 14 species include Anise Hyssop, Pearly Everlasting, Butterfly Milkweed, Little Bluestem, Sky Blue Aster, Prairie Dropseed, June Grass, Hairy Beardtongue, Upland White Goldenrod, and Nodding Onion. These species are drought tolerant, salt tolerant, and grow well in full sun conditions.
